Energy efficiency at home

The Community Energy Survey is looking for your feedback on energy use at home

Energy conservation and efficiency are important steps in Oxford County's goal of reaching 100% renewable energy by 2050. With rising energy costs a concern for many people in our community, we're asking residents about the ways they're monitoring their energy use now and what options they may consider in the future.

And, just by taking part in our 5-minute survey, you'll be entered into a draw to win a $100 gift certificate to your choice of restaurant on the Oxford County Cheese Trail.

Community Energy Survey

The Community Energy Survey lets you offer input on how the County can support residents in improving energy efficiency at home. The survey is open from May 3-12, 2017 and takes about five minutes to finish.

To answer questions fully, we suggest starting the survey with a copy of your most recent electricity bill.

Please note all information shared as part of the Community Energy Survey will remain confidential. Data collected from this study will only ever be reported as part of a broader summary.*

The survey is now closed.
